Patrons Search for Hidden Money in MK Art Gallery

While the Mitlon Keynes Art Gallery attendants had no idea what was about to happen, artist Tomas Georgeson from Buckinghamshire, England, decided to increase the flow of traffic to his exhibition by teasing people with hidden money.

The publicity stunt has clearly worked, with plenty of curious patrons searching through every inch of the gallery in hopes of finding the £8,000 check, approximately $12,600 US. The artist explains that his goal was to "get people through the door and change the mood of the place," and he also managed to increase the gallery's publicity.
